In the world of entrepreneurship, hope and confidence play a crucial role. Hopeful people look to the future with positive expectations and believe that they are the shapers of their own destiny. They actively pursue their goals and pursue them with determination.
The ability to nurture hope and maintain confidence has a significant influence on our attitude towards the future and our actions in the present. How we deal with negative events depends heavily on our explanatory style. Optimists tend to view difficulties as temporary, external and specific events, while pessimists tend to interpret them as permanent, internal and global circumstances.
Implications for peer learning
People with this strength are particularly suited to industries or entrepreneurial designs that require new solutions and are characterised by an optimistic view of the future. They should focus on inspiring those around them to believe in a positive future.
As intrapreneurs, the areas of coaching, motivational training or change management are particularly suitable.
In any case, they should make sure that their optimism does not lead them to underestimate risks, and that they can also deal with setbacks to ensure long-term success.
